Chapter 1288 - 1287: Watermelon Assassin
"Why?"
"What’s going on?"
"What’s their identity?"
"Shouldn’t they be taken back anyway?"
The next moment, Lu Zheng suddenly turned around, looked at the two women, then made a knife gesture with his right hand and drew it across his neck.
His eyes were sinister, his mouth twisted in a grin, head slightly lowered, with a bloodthirsty cold smile and murderous intent, just like a villain from movies and TV shows.
The two women looked terrified, not bothering to finish their coffee, they hurriedly stood up, grabbed their bags, and fled in panic.
Logically, they more or less held some status and had backing, they shouldn’t be so timid.
But such people aren’t brainless either. Lu Zheng and the others walked out unscathed in front of the officers, which meant that their status was also high, at least capable of threatening them.
Then meeting face to face, that threatening expression was just too spot on.
Evil! Vicious! Bloodthirsty! Mad! It’s downright perverted!
It directly shattered the mental defenses of the two women, they absolutely dared not face Lu Zheng again, only worried he’d discover their identities and retaliate.
But Lu Zheng had no intention of retaliating against them, with the three Daoist Talismans from Shen Ying, they’d have a tough few years ahead.
Xiao Yuya glanced at the two women, eyes narrowing, and said to Lin Wan, "I’ll take care of those two women..."
"No need..."
Lu Zheng waved his hand, "Them reporting to the police, that’s their right, what does it matter, are we really that petty-minded?"
Xiao Yuya nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes!"
Shen Ying, hanging onto Lu Zheng, smiled and said, "We only want them to have insomnia, nightmares, natural hair loss, and accelerated aging."
Xiao Yuya: ╭(°A°`)╮
Xiao Yuya didn’t dare speak, hiding near Lin Wan and letting out a couple of awkward laughs like a quail, afraid Shen Ying might just lash out at her.
Lin Wan, who communicated the most with Xiao Yuya, patted her hand and smiled to comfort her, "Don’t be afraid, Little Saber is also our friend, and very natural when communicating with us."
Xiao Yuya thought, "How can it be the same, Zhao Xiaodao is a big star, beautiful and charming, whereas I’m just someone with an official title."
"Don’t all the novels say it? Swordsmen hate the Court’s lackeys the most..."
Ordering a coffee, Si Lingxi sat at a six-person table in the corner of the café, took a sip, then glanced indifferently at Xiao Yuya.
She’s seen too much of this state—basically, all mortal folks she’s encountered react this way.
However, Xiao Yuya was only fearful, while the mortal City Lords and Clan Leaders under Phoenix Mountain were not only perturbed but also carried excitement and joy.
That glance, her phoenix eyes carried authority, causing Xiao Yuya to shiver.
Lu Zheng smiled and pushed the coffee in front of Xiao Yuya, "Have some coffee."
Xiao Yuya quickly nodded, picked up the cup, and sipped it calmly enough.
"I really didn’t expect we’d meet under such circumstances," Lu Zheng chuckled.
Xiao Yuya took a breath, seeing Si Lingxi had already taken out her phone and was no longer paying attention to her, she felt a sigh of relief.
"Unexpectedly, we were just preparing for contingencies, didn’t expect something really unexpected happened," Xiao Yuya said honestly.
Xiao Yuya was telling the truth, the Ancient Culture Research and Analysis Archival Room always maintained a principle of non-proactiveness, leaving the initiative completely to Lu Zheng and the others, while they only handled the aftermath.
The Pharaoh Country incident was an unexpected joy, this one was an unexpected shock.
Everyone in the Ancient Culture Research and Analysis Archival Room had gathered urgently, awaiting Xiao Yuya’s report, if she couldn’t handle it, they’d be ready to call departments for rescue.
Luckily, the result was good...
"Don’t worry, I’m not that irritable," Lu Zheng couldn’t help but smile, "I have countless ways to avoid going to the police station, I won’t use the most violent way."
Xiao Yuya nodded, with Lu Zheng and Shen Ying’s friendly demeanor, she felt relieved and slowly regained her calm and reason.
"I believe you, but we also have to do what we should, after all, those certificates were processed by us."
Xiao Yuya tried to make the most of her strengths, giving a playful smile and said, "If the certificates we processed don’t work, wouldn’t that damage our credibility?"
Lu Zheng gave a thumbs up, teasing, "I see, the Forestry Bureau covers for you, National Security covers for the Forestry Bureau, those in charge must’ve been scared out of their wits."
Xiao Yuya inwardly smiled bitterly.
Being in charge is generally a good thing, under normal circumstances, those officers might even be praised, but the issue is, nothing is absolute.
The person you offended, there’s no one in the entire country who can back you up!
"If there are any issues in the future, feel free to call me anytime," Xiao Yuya said.
"No need, earlier was a special case, if we really wore our costumes on the street, would people think they were genuine leather?" Lin Wan laughed.
If every piece of leopard skin that appears in costumes is real, then various film cities would definitely be major butchers of wild animals.
"True that." Xiao Yuya couldn’t help but laugh.
By logic, since the situation was resolved, Xiao Yuya should take her leave, but finally meeting Lu Zheng’s group in person, she really wanted to build some rapport and get more acquainted.
So she made some small talk, "The supporting construction of the Red Chess River project is already in full swing, crucial base stations around the area are fifty percent complete, solving the communication issues, the construction teams stationed north have already moved south collectively.
Large-scale development equipment orders have been scheduled for a year later, and the area is to be transformed into a mode of large farms and estates, eliminating the risk of the country’s food supply nearing the red line."
"The way you’re talking sounds like a report."
Lu Zheng couldn’t help but laugh, "There’s no need to report these to me, I can’t help with the follow-up either."
Xiao Yuya felt a bit embarrassed since she was used to reporting, and people like Lu Zheng were even more powerful than her superiors, she naturally fell into a reporting mode.
"But I do have a small suggestion."
Xiao Yuya’s eyes lit up, she immediately sat up straight and said, "Please, go ahead!"
If it weren’t for the inappropriate setting, she’d have loved to take out a notebook and pen to take notes.
"No need to be so formal, we’re just casually chatting," Lu Zheng waved his hand.
Xiao Yuya nodded and relaxed her posture.
"Developing large farms and estates, with land and water connectivity, transportation should be convenient, right?"
Xiao Yuya nodded quickly, "Yes!"
"Then apart from farming, could you plant more watermelons to reduce their price?"
Lu Zheng stroked his chin, "It feels like watermelon prices have been going up in recent years, I’ve heard online talk about ’watermelon bandits’.
If this trend continues, people won’t be able to enjoy the freedom to eat watermelons, I don’t want it to end up like in that small place, buying just a few slices of watermelon, then peeling the rind to use as a stir-fry,
For a watermelon, that’s too tragic an end!"
Xiao Yuya, "..."
